Davidson will be blasting off later this month on Bezos’s rocket that has been the butt of many jokes for apparently looking ‘penis-shaped’.
The official date for Davidson’s flight has just been confirmed as March 23.
He’ll be on Blue Origin’s fourth human space flight.
Davidson will launch from Blue Origin’s facility in West Texas.
The comedian will be joined by Party America CEO Marty Allen in the small space capsule.
Husband and wife Sharon and Marc Hagle will also be on the flight.
The final pair making up the team of six are entrepreneur Jim Kitchen and Dr. George Nield who is president of Commercial Space Technologies.
Davidson and his crew won’t be the only special cargo on the flight.

They’ll also be taking a selection of postcards written by kids as part of Blue Origin’s Club for the Future program.
The idea is that Bezos’s rocket can take their dreams and wishes into space.
How much does a Blue Origin ticket cost?
Blue Origin has not revealed the price of a ticket to fly on its rocket, designated New Shepard, but sales for the company were nearing $100 million last year, according to The New York Times.
While it’s unclear how much of that revenue was from ticket sales, Jeff Bezos told the Times that the company was doing “really well with private sales.”
In a public auction for a seat on the first Blue Origin flight, Justin Sun, CEO of blockchain platform Tron, ended up paying $28 million for a ticket.
While Davidson’s ticket to the heavens is not likely to come cheap, it will certainly be cheaper than that, according to Engadget.
